On July 1, 2023, the minimum wage rate in the City of Emeryville increased to $18.67. This rate applies to work performed within the geographic boundaries of the City of Emeryville.
Other geographic boundaries may have their own minimum wage laws, such as in the County of Los Angeles. There may be overlapping minimum wage protections at the city, county, state, and federal level. Generally, the most protective minimum wage law for employees will apply. Look for the highest applicable dollar amount hourly rate to determine the most protective. That is usually the answer. For example, California’s minimum wage is $16.00 per hour, which is lower, thus the higher $18.67 per hour minimum wage would apply in Emeryville.
